Southern Black Indians

Hey all

I'm having a time finding my relatives. I grew up knowing we were different but not knowing how... Well now that I'm researching my family history and genealogy I find that we are Black Indian. My paternal father is Black and Cherokee while I'm not sure what nations my mother's family are from (they migrated from VA and DC to SC NC FL and GA ). My question is how do you go about researching southern Black Indians? It's like they suddenly appear out of nowhere.
